Teaching Sacred Music at Public Universities

A recent study of sacred music programs in public universities across the United States examines current pedagogical practices, compares these practices with the curriculum standards set by the National Association of Schools of Music and the Association of Theological Schools, and suggests curricular changes needed to meet the unique educational needs of today’s sacred music students. It covers select undergraduate programs and each of the six Master’s level programs at public universities—those of East Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, and Michigan.
